May i know where exactly Red Palm KL (bukit bintang) is located? Is it a walking distance to Sungai Wang Plaza/Berjaya Times Square

Answer:
It’s about 5 minutes walk from either of these places. It’s located on Tengkat Tong Shin, the second street parallel to Jalan Bukit Bintang (with Jalan Alor in between).
Please check http://www.redpalm-kl.com for detailed information.

Hi Tilo, your information is very helpful and would give a try by train for coming visit to Malaysia from Singapore next month.

It really depends on your preferences. The more comfortable way is to take the night night train from Singapore (leaves 10.15pm and arrives in KL 7am). The ticket is 43S$ for the lower berth. For more info check http://www.ktmb.com.my and http://www.seat61.com/Malaysia.html
The cheaper option is to take a bus from Singapore (S$15 from Lavender Bus Station or S$23 for an express coach from Queen Street Bus Station). More Infos: http://www.the-inncrowd.com/singtomsia.htm
